A trap for Pallez

The fact that Leonard was Parasitism by an old man was nothing new to Kronos and Klein, but it was a surprising event for the others in the Tarot Club.

Especially since this old man is an Archangel who Error Pathway.

To others, this Mr. The Star's biggest backer should be the church, because Leonard basically never guarded against his church identity.

But today they learned that he was actually able to communicate with an Archangel.

Just as everyone was caught up in a mix of emotions, Kronos smiled softly from behind the Gray Fog.

All of this is easy to understand, because he did it on purpose.

Of all the Angel Archangel Kronos has seen so far, very few have ever shown him hostility.

Only Will Onsetin and Pallez Zoroaster.

The story between Kronos and Will Onsetin has come to an end, with Will losing the Betting Match and Fate to fate that he will no longer interfere with Kronos.

It's certain that Kronos was unhappy.

Will actually caused Kronos quite a bit of trouble, but in the end, he ended up like this, unable to get his revenge.

However, that was the situation at the time; he was only a Sequence 3 at that time, while Will was Sequence One.

It's already good enough that they were able to remove this stumbling block so peacefully, let alone want to retaliate.

Therefore, the feud between the two ended at that time.

Will never set another trap for him, and Kronos never saw Will again.

As for Pallez Zoroaster, he was also someone who had clearly shown malice in the past.

However, his target was the Authority of Time possessed by Kronos.

Kronos was careless at the time, because he had met many people, but only a few truly coveted his power.

The truth is, power is not something that is easily compatible, so few people would attempt such a dangerous thing unless they were forced into Extremis situation.

Unfortunately, Pallez was someone who had been driven to that point by Amon.

Unless truly pushed to that point, who would consider abandoning their Sequence One and only keeping Sequence Two?

Therefore, there was indeed a feud between Kronos and Pallez.

Although this feud didn't escalate into a physical confrontation, it didn't stop Kronos from using Amon's hand to exact revenge.

Pallez is now under the command of the Church of Evernight, so as long as he keeps a low profile, it will be difficult for Amon to accomplish anything.

But now that he has revealed his position, it remains to be seen who has the better skills.

Kronos knew very well that as long as Pallez helped Klein, he would inevitably be exposed to Amon's sight, because no one knew how to steal better Amon.

That's why Kronos made this suggestion, asking Pallez to help Klein deceive Amon.

If this proposal succeeds, then Pallez will definitely be exposed.

Pallez losing his Archangel status was a good thing for Kronos, as it eliminated a threat from an enemy and also gave him a sense of relief.

As for whether Amon would target him, Kronos wasn't too worried about that.

Didn't I say that unless one is truly driven to desperation, who would rashly choose an unfamiliar authority?

At this moment, Amon clearly had the upper hand.

Mr. Door has been insane for a long time and has always been at Amon's mercy.

Klein was so inexperienced that he was no match for him.

Therefore, in Amon's eyes, not only was the power to steal not the power, but the power of the entire Cowardly Trio was in his own hands.

How could someone like Amon possibly consider other forces?

Kronos's plan was excellent, and Klein and Leonard cooperated well, so let's see how things develop from here.

The discussion about how to escape the predicament has temporarily come to an end. Mr. World looked at Fors and asked:

"Please ask the Abraham Family if they still have Worm of Star whose Spirituality hasn't been completely lost. If so, what would they need to exchange them for?"

Unlike Spirit Worm and Worm of Time, Worm of Star do not possess Beyonder Characteristic most of the time. Therefore, their Spirituality will be irreversibly lost, and it is difficult to preserve it for a long time without special methods.

"Worm of Star?" Fors paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay."

After receiving a reply, Klein then turned the world's attention to Cattleya:

"If Miss Magician fails to acquire the Worm of Star from the Abraham Family, I would like to entrust you with a task."

"What mission?" Cattleya asked with interest.

"World," Gehrman Sparrow chuckled, "The Hunt for Aurora Order's ' Saint of Secrets,' Botis."

This was one of the most exciting events since the founding of the Tarot Club; everyone worked together and killed a Demigod.

In fact, Kronos could have simply said that he had Worm of Star, not to mention Worm of Star Worm of Time and Spirit Worm, he had them in considerable quantities.

Having obtained the Beyonder Item called "Home" from Tudor, he has been continuously cultivating these three types of insects for Kronos.

However, Kronos didn't say anything, but just watched them discuss what to do.

This memorable moment was a great gain for everyone in the Tarot Club, and there was really no need for me to interfere.

Many people are very interested in this plan and want to participate.

Under Cattleya's overall planning and arrangements, a general idea for the plan has been formed.

After discussing this matter, today's Tarot Club can be considered over.

As Kronos waited to leave, he saw that everyone else had left safely, but he was the only one left behind.

What does that mean? Keeping your own ancestral hall?

Looking at Mr. Fool and Mr. World who were still there, Kronos understood that Klein had something to ask him.

Mr. World spoke first, "Mr. Fate, I've kept you here mainly because I have something to ask you."

After a moment's recollection, Kronos realized that Klein already knew this was Earth, so he was somewhat curious about what Klein would ask.

Kronos did not speak, but he did not stop him from asking.

"What was this world like before the Second Epoch? Do you know?" Klein asked.

It turned out he wanted to verify his hypothesis here.

Kronos thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know, after all, I didn't live through that era."

"However, there have indeed been similar claims. I can mention them, but you can just listen and forget about them."

"It's said that before our current Civilization existed, another Civilization existed in this world."

"However, that Civilization seemed quite fragile; after undergoing some changes, it was completely destroyed."

"Afterwards, as the world continued to develop, the Ancient God of the Second Epoch appeared, and our Civilization came into being."

Kronos didn't mention anything about a Primordial Creator, because he was still quite wary of them.

I am still too weak. This matter is far too advanced for my meager strength.

Perhaps the same applies to Mr. Fool; even if the Sefirah Castle exists, knowing about it too early is not a good thing.

After saying all this, Klein fell into deep thought.

If Amon might be deceiving himself in some way, then what Mr. Fate said indirectly confirms it all.

This is Earth. He didn't time travel; he's been living on Sefirah Castle ever since.

(That's right! Kronos excitedly declared that he alone was the true transmigrator, and that the fake protagonist was nothing but a fraud!)

"Mr. World, is there anything else?" Kronos broke the silence between the two.

Klein then came to his senses and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fate. I'm alright now."

After saying that, he pretended to be serious and said to Mr. Fool, "Mr. Fool, I'm fine now. Please take Mr. Fate back."

As the Red Light surged, Kronos was about to be sent out of the Sefirah Castle.

Just before leaving, Kronos said, "If they don't gain anything from hunting down the Saint of Secrets, you can come to me. I have Spirit Worm, Worm of Star, and Worm of Time that can help you advance."

The Fool Card was personally given to Kronos by Klein, so he was naturally not surprised that Kronos knew his purpose.

After thinking about it for a moment, Klein understood why Kronos hadn't said it directly earlier.

Klein was willing to support this idea.

Only when the Tarot Club continues to grow can everyone truly help each other.

It's just a matter of getting the Worm of Star a few days later, so there's no real rush.

After leaving Sefirah Castle, Leonard's first action was to discuss helping Klein with Pallez.

Pallez didn't want to get involved in this matter, because he was afraid of attracting Amon's attention.

However, after Leonard's repeated persuasion, and also because he wanted to curry favor with Mr. Fool, he finally offered some advice.

Perhaps from Pallez's current perspective, with the help of the Church of Evernight, coupled with his rich experience, he could achieve great success.

Even if Amon really came knocking on his door, he would be able to evade it.

However, Pallez underestimated Amon, or rather, the chase between Amon and Pales was always just a game for Amon.

Since he had already reached the end of the Error Pathway, whether or not he became a god was not so important, since he could succeed if he wanted to.

So Amon preferred to keep Pallez and have some fun together, so the world wouldn't be so boring.

But that won't work now. Amon is already planning the Sefirah Castle and needs even greater power.

Therefore, Amon's desire to deal with Pallez this time is genuine.

Once Amon discovers him, Amon will definitely do everything in his power to achieve his goal.

Because of this lack of clear intelligence, Pallez fell completely into the trap set by Kronos.

As for Kronos, after leaving the Sefirah Castle, he went straight back to the Enlightenment Monastery and began his next strength training.

Having witnessed the power of ordinary Artisan and Alchemist, Kronos knew that it was impossible to successfully forge the Hand of Order into Beyonder Item with just these two powers.

If he acts rashly and fails, that's a minor issue; if it leads to the spread of pollution, that would be a major problem.

Therefore, Kronos decided that he should wait for a more suitable opportunity; now was definitely not the time.

Having made this decision, it's natural to then dedicate the remaining time to more useful things.

In the days that followed, Kronos spent his time honing his strength at the Enlightenment Monastery while continuing his lecturing journey.

However, this lecture is quite different from the previous ones.

Due to the turbulent situation, many universities in various places have stopped holding classes and have chosen to close down.

If this is the case in universities, then it's even more true for getting into lower-ranked schools.

Since the place was already closed, Kronos had nowhere to attend classes.

Therefore, he gathered a group of people and began giving lectures in private.

Most of these people were found for him by the Argel Family and Negan; they needed to have a certain foundation, a certain interest, and be able to truly learn.

For this reason, Kronos spared no expense in having them attend his classes.

In such a chaotic situation, finding a job that is both profitable and safe is incredibly difficult, which is why Kronos's private classroom quickly became fully booked.

For these students, Kronos didn't just intend to help them digest the Potion; he genuinely planned to teach them a great deal of real knowledge.

When the war ends and everything is renewed, all primary and secondary schools will need teachers, and these people will be natural candidates for teaching positions.

With them, the name of Kronos and the discipline of the Microscopic World could spread rapidly throughout Loen and even to other countries.

If they can teach well in the time to come, the Knowledge Emperor Advancement Ritual will surely be completed soon.

As for the Knowledge Mentor's Potion digestion, the recent pace has been slightly slower due to the war, but it is still more than halfway complete.

Once this course is officially launched, I believe I won't need to go out and lecture anymore. With these students helping to spread the knowledge, I will be able to digest it quickly.

At that time, Kronos will be able to complete his ascension to the Archangel of the Hermit Pathway as quickly as possible.

Kronos had already experienced a change of Pathway once, so he didn't take it too seriously, as it wasn't that dangerous.

However, Kronos had one concern: would such frequent changes in Pathway affect his eventual ascension to godhood?

This is why I and Stiano are destined to be enemies; otherwise, I should really learn from him.
